GMZ700 Synopsis For The Suwannee River To Okaloosa-walton County Line Out To 60 Nm 940 Pm Edt Tue Jul 2 2024
Synopsis -
generally south to southwest winds are expected through much of the week, and seas should be around 1 to 2 feet as a result. Scattered showers and storms are expected through today, with activity generally greatest in the overnight and early morning hours as the diurnal land breeze circulation is at its peak. Long period swell from hurricane beryl will arrive late Friday into Saturday and linger over the weekend.

UPDATE
Issued at 843 PM EDT Tue Jul 2 2024
For the latest NE FL and SE GA Daily Key Messages please visit: https:// www.weather.gov/media/jax/briefings/nws-jax-briefing.pdf
Convection is mostly winding down with the exception the Suwannee/Hamilton and Marion County areas which should start to wind down in the next hour or so. A few showers isolated showers are possible overnight near the coast, but otherwise a mainly dry and seasonably mild night with lows in the 70s to around 80.
NEAR TERM
Issued at 243 PM EDT Tue Jul 2 2024
For the latest NE FL and SE GA Daily Key Messages please visit: https:// www.weather.gov/media/jax/briefings/nws-jax-briefing.pdf
Showers and thunderstorms continue this afternoon as the presence of a stalled frontal boundary just north of the FL GA border, diurnal heating, and boundary collisions continue into the evening hours. The main concerns with any stronger storms that may form will be winds of 40 to 50 mph, frequent lightning, and localized flooding, especially in urban areas and flood prone locations.
Areas of convection are mainly focused in SE GA and NE FL where sea-breeze collisions are occurring along the Atlantic coast before shifting slowly to the west into the evening hours.
Temperatures have cooled slightly with the rain and cloud cover into the upper 80s to low 90s this afternoon with temperatures in the mid 70s overnight.
SHORT TERM
(Wednesday through Thursday night)
Issued at 243 PM EDT Tue Jul 2 2024
Weakened frontal boundary over SE GA on Wednesday gradually diffuses as surface high pressure off the mid-Atlantic coast extends down the southeastern seaboard. Meanwhile, upper ridging remains in place over the SE US shifting flow to northeasterly.
Deep tropical moisture (PWATs 2.2-2.5 in.) lingers for mid-week before drier air advects in from the northeast Thursday afternoon.
With sea breezes, daytime heating, and the weak frontal boundary, scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms are expected Wednesday afternoon into evening. Locally heavy rainfall and gusty winds expected with the stronger storms mainly inland areas, given the push of the easterly flow moving storms further inland.
Slightly less storm coverage compared to Wednesday for the 4th of July with the beginnings of drier filtering into the area. High temperatures will be in the low 90s. Heat indices could approach heat advisory criteria along the I-75 corridor on Thursday.
Overnight low temperatures will drop into the 70s.
LONG TERM
(Friday through next Tuesday)
Issued at 243 PM EDT Tue Jul 2 2024
Generally weak/stacked ridging looks to dominate the long term, with therefore a more sea breeze dominated influence expected in the weak flow. An upper low off in the Atlantic on Friday will start to push slowly westward towards the southeast US through the weekend, which will have an influence on our weather through most of this period as well. This low will advect some drier air in aloft into at least a portion of the region by Friday and the weekend, and especially near the coasts. There is some discrepancy in guidance as to how fast and how close to the coast this low gets, however do expect some limits to convective development for at least more eastern parts of the region. Though given the time of year, some chances for diurnal convection will still remain.
Stacked high pressure/some increase in heights aloft will keep temps generally above average for this period.
AVIATION
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 713 PM EDT Tue Jul 2 2024
Diurnal convection has almost come entirely to an end at all terminals, with possibly just a few lingering SHRA near GNV over the next few hours. Primarily VFR will be expected overnight with the exception of VQQ which will likely reach MVFR status and possibly even IFR at times. A few showers will likely develop over coastal waters overnight, and therefore included VCSH for SSI and GNV at the immediate coast. Not expecting any of this activity to substantially affect operations.
Diurnal sea breeze convective activity expected to begin around early afternoon, with specific timing and impacts for TEMPO groups to be determined as we get closer.
MARINE
Issued at 243 PM EDT Tue Jul 2 2024
A frontal boundary will remain stalled over the Georgia waters through Wednesday. Prevailing winds have shifted to easterly as high pressure building over the Mid-Atlantic states wedges down the southeastern seaboard. Showers and thunderstorms will increase in coverage across our local waters along and south of this stalled frontal boundary through Wednesday. The frontal boundary will gradually dissipate over the Georgia waters by Thursday, with prevailing onshore winds continuing as high pressure weakens off the eastern seaboard. Coverage of showers and thunderstorms are expected to decrease across our local waters late this week through Saturday, with prevailing winds then shifting to southwesterly during the weekend ahead of the next weakening frontal boundary that will be entering the southeastern states.
Rip Currents: Moderate rip current risk today and tomorrow at all area beaches.
FIRE WEATHER
Issued at 1235 PM EDT Tue Jul 2 2024
Light and generally easterly transport winds will continue through Wednesday, with scattered to numerous afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms and more extensive cloud cover keeping daytime dispersion values in the poor to fair range throughout our region. Mixing heights will begin to rise on Thursday, but generally light transport wind speeds will keep daytime dispersion values in the fair range at most locations during the afternoon hours.
